About This Property

1,167-Acre Timber & Hunting Land for Sale in Douglas County, WI

Highland Tracks Real Estate Listing: Premier 1167-Acre Timber and Recreational Property.

Own the Highland Tracks: 1,167 acres split into two diverse ~600-acre tracts that combine timber income, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Set between major timber markets in Hayward and Cloquet, this timberland property offers all-weather access, varied forest cover, and a maintained road network—making it easy to manage for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and timber investors.

Timber Resource & Market Position

Leverage a balanced timber base. Each tract carries a mix of aspen and oak—about 600 acres of each cover type across the combined holding. You can harvest 10–15% of the aspen now and expect ~20% to mature over the next decade. Oak stands interspersed with aspen improve habitat diversity and long-term value. Proximity to mills, short haul distances, and sandy, all-weather ground let you schedule harvests efficiently and profitably—especially for aspen and hardwood logs.

• Timber quality: Mixed age classes; high-quality stands rated 7–8/10

• Revenue cadence: Immediate cut available + staged near-term maturity

Wildlife, Water & Recreation

Hunt and recreate across a rich, mixed ecosystem. Deer, grouse, and other wildlife thrive in the mosaic of cover, wetlands, duck ponds, and scenic water features. A conservation easement allows public hunting access on foot only, which preserves low impact while maintaining privacy and quality hunting conditions.

• Game: Strong deer and grouse opportunity

• Features: Wetlands, duck ponds, and diverse edge habitat

Access & Road System

Move across the property with ease. The east tract includes a continuous road from Highway A to Beauregard Lake Road. The west tract features roads that reach deep into the interior, giving you near-complete access for hunting, management, and harvest operations.

• All-weather surfaces support year-round use

• Penetrating spurs reduce machine and foot travel times

Conservation Easement & MFL

Manage sustainably while keeping ownership costs down. The property participates in a conservation easement and the Managed Forest Law (MFL) program. The easement guides best practices and minimizes environmental impact, while annual DNR monitoring occurs under MFL. You retain full timber-harvest rights within sustainable limits, supporting continual revenue.

• Cost control: MFL enrollment helps reduce taxes

• Operational freedom: Harvest remains unrestricted within sustainable limits

Building Potential (Exempt Parcels)

Plan a basecamp or simple cabin. Two 40-acre parcels sit outside the conservation easement, giving you space to build a hunting shack or cabin. You can also withdraw land from MFL (per program rules) for personal use while maintaining favorable carrying costs.

Why This Timber Property Works

You step into a turnkey, low-overhead holding with proven management and strong revenue potential. The combination of accessible roads, market proximity, sustainable programs, and diverse habitat creates a rare blend of ecological variety, operational simplicity, and income.

• Turnkey management: Established road network and documented practices

• Income stack: Immediate + staged timber cuts; low carrying costs via MFL

• Versatility: Recreation, hunting, and timber investment in one package
